Many of you are letting selfish Pride (which is one of the greatest blessing-blockers around)blur your vision on the correct interpretaion of those words. So many women, Black women in particular, read these passages in a feminist manner when feminism (when used to deliberately ignore God's Word)is of the world and in direct rebellion to the word of God.
I'm not saying any of you are wrong for your thoughts and beliefs, but along with Shalom's post, Tickled Pink gave the most correct interpretation of the words obey and submit. The words themselves may sound demeaning to a feminist but when taken in their proper context( which is by decree of the God that many of us claim to serve), they provide the foundation of a harmonious union. If you are going to deliberately ignore the Word of God, why ask Him to sanction the marriage in His house (a Church) and with his Vessel for bringing His Word (a Minister)?
I know many Sistas have had to fight the battle for so long without a man worthy of obeying or submitting to(in the Christian since, not abusive) and that is the fault of the Black Man.
Woman of Virtue: there is no one passage per se, but the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit speak on it often.
BTW, I don't want "obey" and "submit" in my vows either. I prefer words more user-friendly words.

are you impying that a woman cannot accurately interpret the bible absent of feminist ideological influence? i am not a feminist, yet i strongly disagree with your interpretation...not because i am a woman...strong headed...prideful...but because anyone that has taken to SERIOUS study of biblical text knows that there are MANY inacuracies in the king james version of the bible as it stands today...both male and female biblical scholars alike will attest to that...
gods will? or mans interpretation of gods will relayed to you by man and further reinterpreted by you, man absent of divine inspiration and solely based on blind trust that the person relaying it to you is accuarate in their interpretation...
